Hee hee hee

Our neighbor came over last night to collect my signed proxy giving him rights to represent us at the next Homeowner's Assoc. meeting on the 31st. He is older and gay (well, that describes 75% of our fellow homeowners). He told S that while walking out to get pizza one day, he glimpsed S's naked butt through a window, and that it was a nice butt! I agreed. This is what we get for walking around the house naked! (S does it more than I do.)

Another hee hee hee for the weekend. We got the latest allegations from the whore. She has filed a motion for contempt on us full of a bunch of more lies. However, this latest one is truly laughable, as she apparently has grown tired of attacking S and now wants to accuse me of doing terrible things such as, showing up late to drop off the baby all the time, screaming at her and shaking my fists at her and threatening her, and bringing my fellow law enforcement officers with me to intimidate her and search her vehicle. Here's the kicker, though: of the 7 dates she's alleging that all of this happened, 5 of her dates that she cites are dates when we didn't even have the baby! In other words, NOT even our visitation weekends!!!

In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!" She's either that stupid and/or she's crazier than a shithouse rat. Actually, we have come to realize that she's both. Our lawyer says not to even worry about this crap, that it might not even go to hearing b/c it was also improperly filed. It's just sad that the whore can attempt to even cause all this grief and get away with it. Of course, if they have the gall to want to go to hearing then that's fine too, I'd love for her to get stuck with paying a whole mess of our attorney's fees b/c that's what WILL happen.

We had a groovy weekend besides having to hear about this latest round of B.S. Friday night we went out to eat with M. and then he came over to our house and hung out for awhile. S actually got Saturday off from work, which has never happened. I was supposed to patrol but I cancelled so we could spend the day together. We went to see Daddy's Little Girls. I give it 2 1/2 stars for effort. We went to the library and later, went walking w/Tito J (I was feeling much too lazy to run). We played a game or 2 of Jeopardy!

Sunday I patrolled and we made an arrest that was just plain sad. I don't see too many arrests like this. We did everything we could NOT to arrest him, but we had no choice. This poor middle-aged guy almost got sideswiped by a knucklehead, smartass teenager. Unfortunately, the older guy then did something incredibly stupid, but I can't say I blame him too much b/c I certainly know the feeling of snapping when you've just had it!!!--see my road rage blog entry from a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, the older man then pulled in front of the kid and blocked him with his car. He got out and asked the kid where were his parents b/c he wanted to talk to them about their kid's reckless driving. The kid gave him some smartass answers, so the man angrily reached into the kid's car, pulled out the ignition keys, and left. Unfortunately, when he did that, it became a Burglary of a Motor Vehicle, a serious offense in TX. In other words, just by reaching into someone else's car and taking anything, is serious in TX. Texans take our vehicles and our houses pretty seriously, and you can pretty much legally shoot someone for messing with either and probably get away with it.

We got the call after the kid followed the man to his car and somehow, a physical fight ensued. When we showed up I went to talk to the man and he gave me the kid's car keys back. He had scrapes and blood on his legs, but admitted putting the kid into a headlock. By then the kid's parents were there and the kid's girlfriend, who had witnessed the whole thing, was crying. Sadly, we had no choice but to arrest the man, who was such a solid, upstanding, good citizen that when we ran his license, absolutely nothing came up. He was clean as a whistle, again, something I don't see very often when I patrol! He admitted he had done something stupid and had just snapped. I told him my road rage story and told him that I had called HPD to come and deal with it, and that's what he should've done too. My partner had tried to shoo the kid and his parents away so we could just write the man a ticket for "Assault by Contact" and let him go, but they weren't having any of it--they wanted to press charges. I felt so sorry for the man. I was very gentle when I handcuffed him, and even double-cuffed him so he'd have more room to move.

We ended up taking him downtown instead of to the substation so that he could be processed and bond out asap. So we did what we could for him. I was just thinking today that I wish I had thought to chew out the kid when I had the chance for driving like a damn fool. I wish I had.

To celebrate that we'll be getting custody of the baby, I bought her some new clothes last week since I saw a good sale going on. One t-shirt says, "Good looks run in my family", which they do on S's side, thank God. Another t says, "Everyone loves a brown-eyed girl" or something like that. I got her 2 pairs of shorts and pretty sandals that light up with those blinking red lights. All on sale!
